So I realize that this blog has basically become a brag and less blog. Too many news clippings, published work, etc. and while it’s all great and I’ve had an excellent year and feel incredibly fortunate – amidst all of the book campaigning I have had time to shoot (!) and wanted to share some of the recent work from the last few months.Sunset on classic view of El Capitan, Yosemite National Park, California

Ian Shive sits down with CW’s Channel 6 Morning News in San Diego about the making of the new book, The National Parks: Our American Landscape as well as some of the misadventures and recent work on the U.S./Mexico Borderlands.

In a stroke of good fortune (in the most bitter sweet of ways) my book has become a hot commodity with most retailers running out, includig Amazon who ran out after a huge burst of sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. No fear for those Amazon customers – my publisher assures your books will be delivered before Christmas. However I’ve received emails from Canada to Kansas asking where they can get the book because it’s sold out everywhere. Well look no further! Barnes & Noble has the book if you purchase it online for 41% off for members! So click below to place your order today.

Ian Shive is proud to launch a new multimedia, television and film production company, WILD COLLECTIVE. Together with co-founder and award-winning filmmaker Russell Chadwick, the company unites veteran Hollywood filmmakers focused on creating top-tier productions for the global community at an affordable price. The company brings together not just Shive and Chadwick, but a team of award winning editors, producers, cinematographers, writers, photographers, animators and composers to create dynamic and original content for film, print, television, and the web.
